our need for books, we have received a tremendous amount of
books within a very short time and will be receiving thousands

Stars for Our
Troops

CAPITAL REGION – Stars
for our Troops is a grassroots
organization that is growing
fast across the USA. We take
retired American Flags with
embroidered 2 inch Stars, remove the Stars, put the Star in
a pouch with a statement the
reads: “I am part of our American flag that has flown over a
home in the U.S.A. I can no
longer fly. The sun and winds
have caused me to become
tattered and torn. Please carry
me as a reminder that You are
not forgotten.” The Stars are
given freely to any soldier or
veteran that we meet, or are
mailed to them. Stars are given to Veteran Homeless Shelters so those Veterans know
that we respect them and they
are not forgotten. Stars are
given to our Wounded Warriors as a Thank You for what
they have endured. Stars are
given to our Veterans in Nursing Homes and Veteran Hospitals. Volunteers are needed
to help create these Stars.
Families and friends need to
contact us so we can share the
Stars with their loved ones.
Donations are gratefully accepted to help deter the costs
of supplies and postage. More
information can be found at
www.StarsForOurTroops.
org or contacting Stars4ourTroops@aol.com. (A)

to us with two kittens she was
found at a trailer park under
one of the trailers.

purrfect lap to lie on.

This is the time of year when I like to start some Amaryllis bulbs so I’ll be able
to enjoy the flowers during the holiday season. Amaryllis also make a great gift! If you’re
thinking of purchasing one for someone (or for yourself), be aware that Amaryllis bulbs
offered can vary widely in size. Usually the price will reflect the size and quality of the
bulb. Try to get the largest bulbs you can find; even if they cost a bit more. A larger bulb
will produce more flowers AND you’ll be more successful getting it to re-flower in years to
come.
The Amaryllis or ‘Hippeastrum vittatum’ is commonly sold in “kit” form; with
a pot and soil included. Amaryllis is a member of the larger ‘Amaryllidaceae’ family that
includes clivia and nerine, popular bulbs grown in summer flowerbeds. Another unexpected
member of the Amaryllis clan is the agave. Native to Mexico, the agave is famous for its’
use in the production of tequila. Your ‘Hippaestrum vittatum’ hybrid Amaryllis is descended
from plants that grow naturally in Peru.
Amaryllis flowers range in color from pure white to wine red and every variation
in between. Banded, striped and bordered have been developed, transforming an already
striking plant into an extraordinary specimen indeed! It isn’t uncommon for the flower spike
to rise 2 1/2’ above the top of the bulb and produce flowers 7” across...a real show stopper!!
When you unpack your Amaryllis bulb, inspect the bottom and remove any dead
roots. Be careful to leave any live ones. The pot should seem too small for the bulb. It
should only be an inch or two wider than the widest part of the bulb.
Plant so that 1/2 to 1/3 of the bulb is exposed above the soil and water thoroughly.
Place your potted Amaryllis in a warm spot (on top of the refrigerator works for me). Don’t
water it again until you notice the flower stem starting to emerge from the top of the bulb.
When this happens, move your Amaryllis to a bright location and keep the soil lightly moist
(not soggy wet). The flower spike will grow very quickly with noticeable growth occurring
each day.
When the huge flowers open, you may want to move your Amaryllis to a cooler
location (as low as 50 degrees) to prolong the show of flowers. After the flowers are spent,
cut off the flower stem. By now leaves have probably started to emerge from the bulb. To
get your Amaryllis to flower again, it’s important to promote this leaf growth. Think of the
leaves as solar collectors that convert sunlight into energy that’s stored in the bulb for the
next flowering cycle. Bright light (but not direct sun) is the source of next year’s flowers.
Keep the soil lightly moist and feed with a soluble plant food like Peters (no, no relation)
about every two weeks. The best way to strengthen your Amaryllis is to sink the pot in a
semi-shady flowerbed outside when things warm up next summer. Sink the pot into the soil
so that the exposed part of the bulb is almost covered. Before frost, bring your Amaryllis
inside and allow it to dry-out completely. Keep dry and store at 60 to 65 degrees for at least
a month. This dry storage period is necessary to stimulate your Amaryllis to begin its next
growth cycle. Remember, Amaryllis like to be potbound so, leave it in the same size pot for
two or three years. Thanks for the read.
